FILM-671B: Advanced Film Production

This graduate course is an intensive class for director/producers who wish to complete an advanced video project within a single 14 week semester. Each week, students will meet individually with the two instructors to cover the entire production process from table read to final color-corrected "print." Admission to the course is by petition. Students may enroll once the instructors have determined that their script has been effectively developed and that they have presented a comprehensive 14 week timeline to completion. Although not required, scripts for this course are typically developed in Advanced Film Development. Scripts (and their accompanying production timeline) are to be submitted to the instructors during weeks 12-14 in the term prior to enrollment. This section will focus on collaboration between a writer and a director; between a director and a producer; and/or between a writer/director/producer and his (or her) cast and crew. Our job over the next 14 weeks will be to help you complete your film or video short not only within a single Art Center semester but also within the larger framework of what is probably the most complex collaborative medium ever invented in which to create art.
